Nuage Café for a day on cloud 9

A cloud is the ideal place to shoot for the moon, so at 14 rue des Carmes, in a goldmine full of inspiration, and hidden behind a huge wrought iron gate, one meets all types of creative adventurers with slightly crazy ideas yet so promising at the same time – dreamers in other words.

Here, everything is possible… eating, drinking, playing, working, resting, learning, meeting, sharing, chilling.Nuage is an ultra trendy and cozy coffee shop and co-working space in Paris, two steps away from the Pantheon, where each instant feels like time on cloud 9.

Nuage is a haven of rest, where one can log off and read, play chess or take a nap, have a cup of tea and a snack. But Nuage is above all a connected space, where it is possible to order a cappuccino in one click, print a document from a comfy armchair, and even convert loyalty points. Where, in order to avoid any bad surprises, the coffee shop displays the real-time visits of the different spaces – meaning, in case it’s busy, one can book a place via the online member space so it is kept for half an hour (but no need to be a member to take a seat! Nuage remains, before all, a coffee place – one comes whenever one wants and stays as long as desired! And if you get hooked up on the concept and become a regular too, you may choose to become a member for free and take advantage of exclusive perks – reduced prices, bookings, loyalty programme, and so on and so forth.) Put simply? The connected coffee shop, Nuage, answers: “it is a wonderful world, where people connect to each other, may they be on the other side of the world or on the other side of the table.” Everything is possible; only the sky’s the limit.

With its six spaces with various atmospheres, Nuage opens its doors every day to those who look for a quiet place to work or have a break, as it was our case with my brother when we were in Paris at the beginning of last month. We stumbled upon Nuage a little randomly, without really daring to ring the bell and go in at first, but we then crossed the threshold of the gate and then of the large glazed red door, above which there was a neon sign that was reading “NUAGE”. This coffee shop is located at the very heart of Paris and nonetheless hides an unexpected world – calm, refined, and so cozy. It’s a little like coming out of the capital and finding oneself in Narnia. There really is a cloud for everybody – from the friendly coffee space to the studious library one, without forgetting the isolated alcoves.

On the Nuage, you only pay for the time you spend; all of the services are included and unlimited (in other words, it’s coffee, tea and snacks galore — even if, of course, it’s not mandatory to consume anything at all!) and the staff pampers those they call “their heroes — hard-workers, dreamers, hipsters, bloggers or job seekers, who want to change the world.” Their motto? “Focus on your ambitions, we take care of the rest.”
